To Provide Bonds to Help Finance Cost of Sewer System and Disposal Plant
The Kutztown Borough Council
sold the Sewerage Bond issue of $40,-
000 at an interest rate of two and one-
half per cent and for a premium of
$580, when they met Monday evening.
This bid, for a bond issue to provide funds to help finaarce the borough's share of the cost of a sanitary sewer system and disposal plant
was made by Singer, Deane and
Scribner, of Pittsburgh. There were
seven other bidders.
Council also passed two ordinances
and considered a third relative to
this sewage project. First calls for
the borrowing of the $40,000, and
gives council the right to assess abutting property owners for a portion
of the costs, as well as to levy taxes
for the payment of principal and
interest.
The second ordinance approved
the adoption of the new system of
sewers, pumping station, and disposal plant, and also takes in the details of buying rights of way, determining methods of payment, and
providing for the issuance of bonds.
The third ordinance, which would
provide for the construction of a
sewage disposal plant and pumping
station, was ordered to be advertised

Making Elaborate Plans to
Entertain Thousands of
Citizens and Visitors
What promises to be the best and
largest Hallowe'en parade ever held
in Kutztown is rapidly taking form.
Meetings have been held and committees appointed.
This year, the committee sponsored
by the Kutztown Fire Company, is
making elaborate plans to entertain
the many thousands who annually
visit our Borough to share this great
carnival; and truly enough, they will
witness an affair that will climax all
efforts of the past.
Harry Frederick has been designated as chairman of the affair and
has a committee of able assistants
to aid him. A meeting of the committee will be held on Friday evening,
October 7th, when final arrangements
will be completed and the date set for
the monster parade.
Already many marching organizations and masqueraders have inquired about the affair and have given their assurance that they are
looking forward with much enthusiasm to be on hand.
It is hoped that the citizens, busi- j
ness people and Industries, will cooperate, and that they will be gener-1
ous in their contributions.
In next week's issue of the Patriot, |
a detailed announcement will be
made public.

The week of October 9th to 15th,
being designated as Fire Prevention
Week throughout the Commonwealth, Kutztown Borough is leaving
no stone unturned to comply with
the wishes of the state authorities.
In this respect, acting chief Anson
Bennicoff of the Kutztown Fire Company has made plans to eliminate fire
hazards in our community and educate its citizens as to what should
be done in order to prevent fires.
Several billions of dollars are annually wasted as the result of fires,
most of which, could be prevented
were precaution taken before hand.
Mr. Bennicoff said that the accumulation of boxes, papers, rags, etc.
stored in cellars and attics cause fires,
poorly insulated electric wires, insulation badly worn in electric cords in
various household appliances, cause
short circuits; chimneys should be
cleaned before the winter season begins, to assure that they are free of
soot; outbuildings and garages should
be thoroughly cleaned and Junk that
is bound to accumulate, should be
destroyed.
Kutztown has been mighty fortunate, Mr. Bennicoff said, in that during the past years, we have had no
serious fires, and he also said that
he hoped that the community would
continue to have less and less fires
each year.
In order to help eliminate hazards,
Mr. Bennicoff and his staff will, during the week, inspect business places
and industries, as well as residences,
and recommend plans to eliminate
fire hazards.
A public inspection will be held
Tuesday evening at 7:30 at the Fire
House, of all equipment. Citizens
should avail themselves of this oppor
tunity to visit the fire laddies and see
the modern equipment that is at
their service in the event of catastrophe.
The fire fighters are proud of their
equipment, because they have equipment second to none and they take
great pride in keeping it in the finest
of condition.
Schools will be visited and school
buildings will be inspected, also a
check on fire drills will be made.
On Saturday, October 15th, citizens
are asked to place on the curbs at
their homes, old mattresses, beds, old
clothes; in fact anything that will
burn. Trucks will be on hand after
1 o'clock to pick up such junk. It
will then be taken to the ball diamond in the park and a huge bonfire
will be held between three and four
o'clock that same day. You are invited to witness the bonfire.
Those citizens desiring to haul
their goods to be burned on the ball
diamond before Saturday, should call
the fire house and arrange for same.
Mr. Bennicoff feels that in this way,
if the townspeople cooperate, we will
eliminate many fire hazards. The
trucks will visit every street in the
town, and College Hill.
A matter that has given many
mothers considerable headaches each
Saturday evening, has finally been
eliminated. For many years, the fire
alarm system has been tested at exactly 7 p. m. Many mothers who are
in the habit of putting their babies
to bed at 6 or 6:30 p. m., would just
have their task completed, when the
alarm was sounded, and would spoil
for them what might have been a
pleasant evening. Effective October
15th, the siren will be tested at 6 p.
m. instead of 7 p. m.

The Kutztown Borough Council
sold the Sewerage Bond issue of $40,-
000 at an interest rate of two and one-
half per cent and for a premium of
$580, when they met Monday evening.
This bid, for a bond issue to provide funds to help finaarce the borough's share of the cost of a sanitary sewer system and disposal plant
was made by Singer, Deane and
Scribner, of Pittsburgh. There were
seven other bidders.
Council also passed two ordinances
and considered a third relative to
this sewage project. First calls for
the borrowing of the $40,000, and
gives council the right to assess abutting property owners for a portion
of the costs, as well as to levy taxes
for the payment of principal and
interest.
The second ordinance approved
the adoption of the new system of
sewers, pumping station, and disposal plant, and also takes in the details of buying rights of way, determining methods of payment, and
providing for the issuance of bonds.
The third ordinance, which would
provide for the construction of a

Making Elaborate Plans to
Entertain Thousands of
Citizens and Visitors
What promises to be the best and
largest Hallowe'en parade ever held
in Kutztown is rapidly taking form.
Meetings have been held and committees appointed.
This year, the committee sponsored
by the Kutztown Fire Company, is
making elaborate plans to entertain
the many thousands who annually
visit our Borough to share this great
carnival; and truly enough, they will
witness an affair that will climax all
efforts of the past.
Harry Frederick has been designated as chairman of the affair and
has a committee of able assistants
to aid him. A meeting of the committee will be held on Friday evening,
October 7th, when final arrangements
will be completed and the date set for
the monster parade.
Already many marching organizations and masqueraders have inquired about the affair and have given their assurance that they are
looking forward with much enthusiasm to be on hand.
It is hoped that the citizens, busi- j
ness people and Industries, will cooperate, and that they will be gener-1
ous in their contributions.
In next week's issue of the Patriot, |
a detailed announcement will be
made public.

The week of October 9th to 15th,
being designated as Fire Prevention
Week throughout the Commonwealth, Kutztown Borough is leaving
no stone unturned to comply with
the wishes of the state authorities.
In this respect, acting chief Anson
Bennicoff of the Kutztown Fire Company has made plans to eliminate fire
hazards in our community and educate its citizens as to what should
be done in order to prevent fires.
Several billions of dollars are annually wasted as the result of fires,
most of which, could be prevented
were precaution taken before hand.
Mr. Bennicoff said that the accumulation of boxes, papers, rags, etc.
stored in cellars and attics cause fires,
poorly insulated electric wires, insulation badly worn in electric cords in
various household appliances, cause
short circuits; chimneys should be
cleaned before the winter season begins, to assure that they are free of
soot; outbuildings and garages should
be thoroughly cleaned and Junk that
is bound to accumulate, should be
destroyed.
Kutztown has been mighty fortunate, Mr. Bennicoff said, in that during the past years, we have had no
serious fires, and he also said that
he hoped that the community would
continue to have less and less fires
each year.
In order to help eliminate hazards,
Mr. Bennicoff and his staff will, during the week, inspect business places
and industries, as well as residences,
and recommend plans to eliminate
fire hazards.
A public inspection will be held
Tuesday evening at 7:30 at the Fire
House, of all equipment. Citizens
should avail themselves of this oppor
tunity to visit the fire laddies and see
the modern equipment that is at
their service in the event of catastrophe.
The fire fighters are proud of their
equipment, because they have equipment second to none and they take
great pride in keeping it in the finest
of condition.
Schools will be visited and school
buildings will be inspected, also a
check on fire drills will be made.
On Saturday, October 15th, citizens
are asked to place on the curbs at
their homes, old mattresses, beds, old
clothes; in fact anything that will
burn. Trucks will be on hand after
1 o'clock to pick up such junk. It
will then be taken to the ball diamond in the park and a huge bonfire
will be held between three and four
o'clock that same day. You are invited to witness the bonfire.
Those citizens desiring to haul
their goods to be burned on the ball
diamond before Saturday, should call
the fire house and arrange for same.
Mr. Bennicoff feels that in this way,
if the townspeople cooperate, we will
eliminate many fire hazards. The
trucks will visit every street in the
town, and College Hill.
A matter that has given many
mothers considerable headaches each
Saturday evening, has finally been
eliminated. For many years, the fire
alarm system has been tested at exactly 7 p. m. Many mothers who are
in the habit of putting their babies
to bed at 6 or 6:30 p. m., would just
have their task completed, when the
alarm was sounded, and would spoil
for them what might have been a
pleasant evening. Effective October
15th, the siren will be tested at 6 p.
m. instead of 7 p. m.
